Azzurri has launched a Mobile Business Unit headed by newly appointed Richard White, a former Telefonica and BT executive.
The Unit brings a dedicated app development capability at Azzurri, providing Azzurri's customers with an integrated mobile offering from the devices through to the network, the platform and the applications.
"Mobile productivity is no longer about letting employees check their work email or send text messages while on the move, it is now fundamentally about enabling the always-on workforce."
"Most businesses understand that there are opportunities to enhance their customer interactions and workforce productivity through tablets and mobile applications, but they need help to adapt to this opportunity."
In the past White held senior roles at both BT and O2/Telefonica. For the last five years he was the head of Financial Markets and Enterprise Fixed Services at Telefonica, managing cross functional team relationships with some of Telefonica's largest enterprise clients spanning retail and investment banking, legal, insurance and business services verticals.
Most recently he held the role of head of sales for Telefonica's Government Smart Metering team where he led the successful bid for the Government Smart Metering project, resulting in a 15 year contract with a value of £1.5bn.
